Free food distribution program fuels big local relief effort
The Human Services Emergency Needs Committee has mobilized donations of food space and volunteers to aid 2000 plus families amid high unemployment in Eastern Iowa. Richard Carlyle and his family illustrate how the program supplements meals to free funds for housing and utilities, as volunteers expand from four Linn County sites to nine, improving delivery and coordination with United Way, I and R, and HACAP.
